User`s guide

Note:

Selecting the Server data source in the Data Source field continues to use the Siebel Mobile/Dedicated

Web Client to connect and will require a Set Location operation on the report before it is published to

a SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform server.

To find your configuration file

Right-click the icon you use to start Siebel.

From the shortcut menu, click Properties.

The Siebel Properties dialog box appears. On the Shortcut tab, the Target field contains the filename

and path to the configuration file.

Local (Active Dedicated Session)

The Local (Active Dedicated Session) connection type is a refinement of the Local connection type,

and requires the complete Siebel Mobile/Dedicated Web Client. This connection type allows reports to

be opened and run from within the Siebel Mobile/Dedicated Web Client without the user having to log

on to Siebel again. The Local (Active Dedicated Session) connection type is provided for use with the

Crystal Reports Local Viewer application. When designing reports against a local data source, use the

Local connection type.

Since the Local (Active Dedicated Session) connection type connects directly to the first Siebel

Mobile/Dedicated Web Client that is running, it does not require a user name and password. If more

than one Siebel Mobile/Dedicated Web Client is running concurrently, it is not possible to specify which

client Crystal Reports will connect to.

Note:

Before a report created using the Local (Active Dedicated Session) connection type can be published

to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform, the connection type must be changed to Server.

24.3.2.4 Queries and Selections

The Connection Details dialog box allows you to configure how the report will act when operated from

the Siebel Mobile/Dedicated Web Client included with the Integration product or BI launch pad. These

settings have no effect when refreshing reports from within Crystal Reports or SAP BusinessObjects

Business Intelligence platform itself. They are used only when reports are linked to Siebel views and

accessed via the contextual awareness feature.

Two options are available:

• Apply Current Query

• Restrict to Current Selection
